Hi,

 

If you see a login webpage that asks for username and password "admin", then you have an older version of the TL-WA860RE, like V1 or V2.

 

I suggest you download the "Quick Installation Guide" or the "User Guide" for the correct version from here https://www.tp-link.com/en/support/download/tl-wa860re/v1/ and follow the instructions written in the those guides.

Hi @Pankoula,

Welcome to our community.

If you have tried to set up the extender but failed, it is recommended that you reset the extender back to factory firstly:

With the Range Extender powered on, press and hold the RESET button (about 6 seconds) until all the LEDs turn on momentarily, then release the button and wait the Range Extender to reboot to its factory default settings.

 

As woozle said, you can refer to page 6 of TL-WA860RE(EU)_V1_User Guide to configure the extender again.
